Does smoking make infanticide look cool?

The Facebook game 'Farmville' has claimed yet another victim. This time through inspiring a woman to shake her own baby to death because it was interrupting game play.

Now look, I've thrown my fair share of controllers at the wall in gaming tantrums but to my credit I've never aimed them at a baby's head. The mother in question adds to a list of many others whose lives have been ruined by the game.

Can't un-tag no matter how hard you try

Farmville is seemingly so addictive that people have lost their jobs and racked up debt and the recent events have fuelled debate as to whether video game addiction is the cause for the destruction.

What is it with people like this and their lame addictions? It reminds me of this woman who was addicted to Coke Zero. Coke fucking Zero! This obese Australian woman had something like twelve one-litre bottles of Coke Zero a day.

That's an insults to addicts everywhere! Coke Zero is not good enough to get addicted to. If your going to destroy your body at least have a decent addiction like cocaine or heroin, or hell, even plain normal Coke.

Now the video game addiction obviously didn't make Alexandra V. Tobias kill her baby. Deep inside she probably loathed the infant for ruining her life (and what a life to ruin, oh the farms she would grow!) but what struck me was the following quote:

"She told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette “to compose herself,” and proceeded to shake him again."

This woman can't even murder a baby in one go! She had to have a cigarette break amidst shaking her baby to death. To calm the nerves.

'Chuck the kettle on love I'm just about done with this one, I'm just gonna have a quick spell.'

This scene is a true clash of what is cool and un-cool. We all know that in the movies when a character is smoking a cigarette and blowing some guy away it doesn't get much cooler than that, but we are also very aware that killing a baby is totally not cool.

So how did this woman look puffing on a cigarette and shaking her baby to death?

Unless she travelling back in time to kill Hitler I just can't imagine a visual where she could look good. Even if she was killing Hitler, I'd want her to give the guy a chance, wait till his at least eight years to do it. If your going back in time to kill Hitler you'd have to be a pretty big ass-hole to kill Hitler when he was a baby.

I'd kill Hitler when he was like fourteen or fifteen at the stage when he had the impulse to have sex with a woman but hadn't lost his virginity, then I would show him a picture of Blake Lively (he'd love her - blonde hair, blue eyes) and say:

"Guess what you're never getting buddy? Should have thought about that before you tried to enslave humanity in the future."

The last thing adolescent Adolf sees before he dies

And then I'd take a puff of a cigarette "to compose myself" and blow him away.
